Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of a new large permanent wear soft contact lens in the management of leaking blebs following trabeculectomy.
Methods: Twenty-four patients with leakage from a trabeculectomy bleb, both fornix based and limbal based, with and without mitomycin adjuvant, were treated with a 78% water content soft contact lens of 17.5 mm diameter, fit according to each patient's keratometry readings.
Results: The leakage from a conjunctival trabeculectomy bleb was successfully treated in 22 out of 24 patients.
Conclusions: The 17.5 mm 78% water content permanent wear soft contact lens is a preferred method of management of leaking blebs when specifically tailored to the patient's corneal curvature.
目的:探讨一种新型大型永久佩戴软性隐形眼镜治疗小梁切除术后漏泡的疗效。方法:24例小梁切除术大疱性渗漏患者，均为穹窿型和缘型，有或没有丝裂霉素辅助治疗，采用直径17.5 mm、含水量78%的软性接触镜，根据每位患者的角膜测量读数进行配戴。结果:24例结膜小梁切除术后大泡渗漏22例成功。结论:17.5 mm 78%含水量的永久佩戴软性隐形眼镜是治疗渗出性水泡的首选方法，应根据患者的角膜曲度量身定制。
